At the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live in Los Angeles, CA yesterday, June 29th, the much anticipated BET Awards 2014 came off. Though Ghanaians were disappointed watching Sarkodie lose to Nigeria’s Davido, many people appreciate the fact that, in the year in review, Davido towered and the award given him was fair even though they would have wished to see Sarkodie receiving his second.
